Man n, "A Draueht Animal.

AL sorts of animals are used in different
parts of the world for carrying on the
various processes of agriculture. Cows
are sometimes hitched TO plows and other
implements side by side with horses and
mules, and necessity often leads to q re-
sort to methods which seem singular, to
say the least. But it is doubtful if in
any other part of the civilized world is
such a spectacle afforded as may be seen
in the vegetable gardens upon the out
skirts of Alameda. Not long ago passers
by in the locality referred to were treated
to the sight Of a piece of light, sandy soil
being broken up. An ordinary pillow was
in use, and a stalwart laborer grasped the
handles thereof, but occupying the po-
sition Of q draught animal was neither
horse, mule, COW nor any other four
footed beast, but a sturdy man. He was
barnessed to the pillow by an arrangement
of straps and buckles like a harness, al
though no brides or reins were necessary.
Despite the wondering glances and ex-
clamations of the passers by the two men
pursued their task in a perfectly matter
of fact way, as if there was nothing more
common in the world than for a man to
drag a plow.-California Exchange.

1t is the duty of every person who has
used Boschee's German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption. severe
Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and
in fact all throat and lung diseases. No
person can use it without immediate re-
lief. Three doses will relieve any case,
and we consider it the duty OF all drug
gists to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
so, 600 dozen bottles we're sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was re-
ported. Such a medicine as the German
Syrup annot be too widely known. AK

to try, sold at 10 cents. Regular size, Is
cents. Sold by all druggists and dealers

II any one will take the trouble to look
at facts us shown by statistics, it will be
found Mt once that there are four boys
needing the care of the state to one girl.
This can be readily proved by the expe
ricnce of all the societies above alluded to
by the reports of state schools elsewhere
and by records of the courts. AS there
are probably as many girls as boys born
into the world, one naturally seeks a rea-
son for this state of things, which is easily
found in the following clauses; First, in
case of death or disaster to parents, friends
and relatives are always more ready to
take the girls han the boys.
Girls are more easily controlled, more
helpful in the house, and 1t is a common
experience hat when a family is left desti-
ute the neighbors will offer homes to the
girls, while the boys are left to shift for
themselves. Secondly, evenin POOR fami-
lies more safeguards are thrown about
girls.
A mother who will let her small boy 1C
or 10 years spend his entire time out of
school and up to Top. m. loafing about the
streets will keep the girl of the same age
carefully at home, helping about the house
under her own super vision, so that willie
the boy becomes n vagrant and she soon
loses control of him, the girl grows up
hard working and respectable and need
ing no outside care.-Chicago Tribune,

GEN. GRANTS LOVE LETTERS.
A Short Chat with Col Fred Grant-An
Interesting Diary.

Interesting Diary.
CHANGING to meet Col. Fre1 Grant the
other day 1 asked him ding the vol
umes of his fathers unpublished diaries
and papers which it has been announced
he was engaged upon for publication. A
casual inquiry soon revealed the fact that
the paragraph in question was some
what p emature-by about n few years,
Mt Least.
1.-THE only literary work. said Col.
Grant,, upon which / may be said to be
engaged concerning my father is this:
Every day l devote an hour or more to
taking down my mothers "reminiscences
of him. These mostly relate to incidents
and vents in my fathers life during his
tour around the world, and which were
not embodied in Mr.. John Russell Young's
description of that journey. My father
never related those incidents to any one,
and my mother now tells them to me for
the first time to anybody. They are,
many Of them, exceedingly interesting, be-
ing purely of a personal character, and
full of what is called spice have now
nearly 1000 foolscap pages filed with
memorandums of these "reminiscences of
my mother. She has also dictated to me
a great many things in fathers early life
which are not known to the public, and
iioo bi'ta NV wv oCNCld IIdlI
documents never published as yet"
What is it your purpose to do with
thesefn l asked.
81 do not know whether the public will
ever want these off hand "reminiscences,
but they will be of value to my children,
and for their SAKE l am chiefly doing the
collecting and editing of them. Father
was in the habit of telling mother numer-
GUS things about men and events which
were never impaired to others. Many of
them express his opinions of men and
measures which he withheld even from
his closest friends. 1t is possible that l
may at some time publish these recol-
l~ections of mothers, but certainly not at
present. You know my contract with the
Websters provides hat l shall not publish
anything about father until May, 1889, or
three years from last May. What | shall
do when this date expires ] cannot at
present say"
Ibid your father leave with your moth
er any other valuable papers besides the
documents you speak off"
Eyes, | have a diary left by him to
mother, which contains a great many in
teresting entries. Then 1 nave about 20O
Of fathers love letters, as they might be
termed, written to mother during their
engagement. They are, Of course, all in
fathers autograph, and signed some OF
them 'Ule,' others Ulysses and Others
again with his full name, Father was not
n sentimental lover, and In nom of these
letters are those soft and endearing allu-
sions common in q courtship correspond
ence. They are most practical in theiI
character, and form what is undoubtedly
the most exact and accurate history of the
Mexican war ever made, He kept moth
er informed of every movement in his cam
paign, even to the most minute details,
and gives her his opinion of many of the
generals who fought with him, or those Of
the opposing army. They are very curl
GUS love letters, to say the least. Cor

Meanwhile, could anything be more
nauseous than the abject adulation of the
Prince and Princess Of Wales in which
that asinine jobber, Lord Halsbury, in
dulged at Sion college last week? This
~groveling individual vowed that "there
were no words Of his which would ade-
quately express the gratitude and aifec-
ton of the company" for their royal
highnesses, and her he went on driveling
about the impossibility of finding Ian
guage adequately to describe the graft
tude which filled the hearts of those
present. There is something utterly
contemplate and disgusting in such an
efllorescence of servility. Lord Halsbury
evidently has a robust appetite for toads.

Incendiarism in Ireland.

LIMERICK, March A sensation was
caused by the preparation OF very extern
sive incendiarism last night in the country
surrounding this city. A large number
of houses occupied by tenants, and hay
and outbuildings we're burned. The VIC
tins in all cases were persons who paid
rents. The outrages are set down as
political. Great excitement prevails. The
aggregate of the property destroyed Is
very large. The fires were caused by
armed ~inccndiaries who escaped. The
district was ablaze all night with burning
houses and hay.

An English journal just at hand points
out the curious fact that the United
States has SO far furnished the most de-
structive and formidable weapons Of mod
ern warfare. The Dahlgren gun was the
forerunner OF the Armstrong and Krupp
ordnance. Our Monitor revolutionized
the ironclad navies of Europe. Our re-
volving machine guns, which scatter shot
by the thousand, nave led the world, as
witness the Calling, Gardner, Hotchkiss,
and Maxim machine guns, Now the fa-
nous Ericsson has invented n dynamite
cruiser, the most formidable kind of a de-
structive war vessel known to any navy.

To Remove the Common wart.

1t is now fairly established that the
common wart, which is SO u%nsightly, and
often proliferous on the hands and face,
car be easily removed by small doses OF
sulphate of magnesia taken internally.
M. Colrat, of Lyons, has drawn attention
to this extraordinary fact. Several chill
dren treated with three grains of EPSON
salts, morning and evening, were promptly
cured. NJ. Aubers cites the case of a
woman whose face was disfgured by
these excrescences, and who was cured in
a month by q drachm and a half of mag
nesia taken daily. Another medical maj
reports q case of large warts which disap-
peared In a fortnight from the daily adj
ministration of ten grains of salts

l stood for n moment and shouted, but
my voice was drowned by the wind, and |
scarcely heard it myself. l determined to
try and discover what had become OF my
companion, and render him assistance, if
needed. And so, like a BLIND man CROP
ing along, | advanced cautiously, probing
the snow with my alpenstock, but sudden
ly my feet seemed to go from under me
and | felt myself falling through the air.
The next thing that | was conscious Of
was that | was buried in the snow and
was suffocating. | raised my hands with
some difficulty and cleared the snow from
my mouth and was then able to breathe.
The next momen l heard a voice very close
to me, and never in all my life have | heard
anything that sounded so welcome rs did
that human voice in that awful moment
of deadly peril. l managed to turn round
and saw about a yard away the head and
shoulders of my companion, The situation
was clear now; we had plunged over n
preoipice about ten feet and fallen into q
soft snow drift. 1--WE must get out of
this immediately he said calmly, ''or
we're dead men," He had retained pos
session of his alpenstock, and he gave me
one end of it, and by this means, but only
with great difficulty, he was enabled to
extricate himself. We fortified ourselves
with n strong dose of brandy, and he hen
pulled me out and we scrambled by the
aid of some bushes to the road again.
The cold was increasing, night was COM
ing on, Il the snow was thickening, We
were alone in that stern wilderness, and
at any moment we might topple over some
precipice, or, failing that, sink from ex-
haustion in the snow IND be frozen to
death. If we could only AVE got shelter
from the deadly wind, things would not
have been so bad. For, apart from the
distressing sense of numbness it produced,
it swirled the snow around us and made
breathing most difficult. One had to take
In the air in gasps, as it were, and Mt in
t~ervals, when the force of the blasts less
ened. For twoa and n half weary hours we
struggled on. 1t was a sheer struggle of
physical strength against the forces of
nature, and the slightest failure of TINT
strength would have sealed our doom. At
length, with startling suddenness, my
companion uttered a joyful zodel. His
quick eyes had seen what mine had not
namely, a friendly CLEAN of light stream

lonely hospice on the summit. The people
of the hospice heard the shout and came out
with n lantern to welcome Us, They were
naturally surprised at our appearance,
and as we entered the room, where a huge
iron stove diffused n genial warmth. ] felt
that we had come out of n white world OF
death into the living, breathing atmos-
phere OF human companionship, that was
doubly and trebly welcome after the y
